Wrote about arguably my favorite topic in all of sports: Jerry Jones spending $1.2 billion on a stadium built at the exact orientation so the sun shines directly into players eyes during the months when the Cowboys play football:

![“I was so happy when I got there [to Babson],” Lopez Belloza said. “I was just living the college life — going to events, going everywhere ... everything there was really great. I really loved the school."
She and her father also had a special shared aspiration. With her business degree, Lopez Belloza was going to help her father open his own tailor shop, they hoped.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u6ajzyiqzkzbppp2x2y7fpfu/bafkreib33kpkgmvas4z6avgq62styxbzrzuawjufqyddtoynqgbiwnhtzy@jpeg)

Any media that thrives on fomenting and exploiting negative emotion is bad and should be avoided.
Slow burn media especially books are the way to go. It takes a true artist to have you hate read, while hate scrolling is what keeps twitter alive

They should be reminded that “just following orders” was not a successful defense in the Nuremberg trials
“Mr. Paul said the agents had told him that they disagreed with the directive to arrest Ms. Paul but that they had to follow orders.
“They are having them grab everyone they can,” Mr. Paul said. “This is just not right.”
